The border search exception is a doctrine of United States criminal law that allows searches and seizures at international borders and their functional equivalent without a warrant or probable cause.

I suggest you talk with a lawyer. Or better yet, replicate this woman's actions and see what happens.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533d90c6ecad04124527b030johnAmericaThu, 03 Apr 2014 12:48:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533d90c6ecad04124527b030
Wrong! Border patrol and/or DHS has no special power or privilege allowing them to do this kind of thing. 4th Amendment still applies, and we as citizens must stand up to remind the overreaching authorities.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533d3c4d6bb3f723680c7576MCPOThu, 03 Apr 2014 06:47:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533d3c4d6bb3f723680c7576
The border patrol has special powers and yes, they can search you and your vehicle at their discretion. From the article's narrative, the border patrol was well within their authority to exercise duties.
Look on the bright side, if the woman was in Albuquerque they would have killed her while still wearing her seat belt.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533d0e4decad04e670706d9bPinoygunsThu, 03 Apr 2014 03:31:25 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533d0e4decad04e670706d9b
They can only ask you but not demand you.
You may or you may not give identity nor get out of the car if you are not a suspect or suspected to any crime committed, US citizens are "free" citizens on their land so they can ask politely that they want to be on their way and does not consent to any searches.
But, on the other hand, if someone is NOT a US citizens he/she should follow every command given by the agents.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cdbcdecad047646706da1RJJRWed, 02 Apr 2014 23:55:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cdbcdecad047646706da1
Hmm..maybe because she drives a $70,000 Range Rover (old but still) and lives in a trailer? I would pull her ass over too.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cc2196bb3f7044ab5b88f9/11 was allowed to happen!Wed, 02 Apr 2014 22:06:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cc2196bb3f7044ab5b88f
You know this is true. Look, the military/security/prison complex is out of control. Even College campus police have lost the plot...even your local Walmart security is drunk on power. We've turned our great nation of free people into a bunch of paranoid fascists.
When will people wake up and admit that Bush administration lied, 9/11 was allowed to happen to push this nightmare agenda we are in, and trillions of dollars were wasted to make a few evil companies money? When we come to grips with this, we'll then start to heal.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cc0436da8111e0d07a173jamesxxxxxxxxxxxxWed, 02 Apr 2014 21:58:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cc0436da8111e0d07a173
So does the Border Patrol have the right to stop her or not?
If a cop pulls you over and asks you to get out - you have to do it, no?
Do the Border Police have those rights?
I significantly doubt that their statements are particularly out of order if they were lawfully authorized to ask her to get out anyhow.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cb72f6bb3f79524b5b891haywoodmatthewsWed, 02 Apr 2014 21:19:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cb72f6bb3f79524b5b891
I thought threatening her with a harpoon might be more appropriate, but that's just me.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cb50decad045c49706d9ddjWed, 02 Apr 2014 21:10:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533cb50decad045c49706d9d
Yeah, they pull over an OBVIOUSLY American woman, to search her car with her CHILDREN inside, all the while, 10 trucks with illegals probably drove right by. This is nothing less than unconstitutional harassment of an American citizen by yet another out of control LEA, uhm... I mean terrorist organization.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533ca5d7eab8ea9470b5b88fdepressionWed, 02 Apr 2014 20:05:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533ca5d7eab8ea9470b5b88f
The ACLU would like nothing more than for the border patrol to simply disband ...
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME , ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE ALL OVER THE STATE !!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry that this lady had a bad experience but we are being over run down here .http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533c93e5eab8ea7a2ab5b88fmatrixbandWed, 02 Apr 2014 18:49:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/533c93e5eab8ea7a2ab5b88f
"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
I didn't say to help you.....
